What We are trying to do at Women Planet

Women planet is an attempt to get all those (and not only women as the perceived notion may be) together who believe that women are as equally a part of this world and hold immense potential to make a real difference.

We believe in the power of unity. We are looking at this website as a platform to get not like-minded but people from a diverse background and different walks of life together and share experiences that could effect one another. Women Planet is a sounding board for those who need an ear and a hearing platform for those who want to sit back at give someone an ear.
